“The Brooklyn Academy of Music series paired shorter, experimental works in 3D with longer features, so there’s a nice attention to the varying possibilities of the medium,” says Jodie Mack, an assistant professor of film and media studies.

Jeffrey Ruoff, a professor in the college’s Department of Film and Media Studies, oversaw the making of the documentary as part of his 10-week-long Film39 class. 'Students were very much cast under the spell of Walt', Ruoff said.

Professor Ruoff hosted a Masterclass with Abderrahmane Sissako (director of the Academy Award nominated film Timbuktu). Mr. Sissako will receive the Dartmouth Film Award on Tues., April 21 at 7pm in Loew.
